BariAftercare: The Podcast
Episode 180: Personal Power, Happiness and Long-Term Success
As part of the full online BariAftercare program, we have a word of the week that corresponds to our word of the year, which is accountability. One of the words we recently discussed is the word POWER. This word has a lot of definitions, which I hadn’t thought about until I actually looked on dictionary.com. For our purposes, we are talking about PERSONAL POWER, which is the ability you have within yourself to create the life you want for yourself. UNLESS… you don’t believe you do … have that sort of power within. We need to develop the skills and self-esteem to create and use our own sense of personal power if we are to create the life we want. The life I want includes physical health, of course, as health truly is wealth, as they say. In addition to a healthy body, I want healthy relationships and a healthy sense of being disciplined, to be accountable and follow through when I say I am going to do something, and to believe in myself enough to carry on with the going gets tough! Listen to this episode and think about your own sense of personal power and how you use that in your bariatric journey!
